  We moved from 2024 to 2025, with new calendar pictures and new music. The topic of Bach's chorale cantatas will keep me busy until 25 March, and then I want to focus on performances more generally, in history and in my experience. You can follow my daily stories, {{tl|User Gerda Arendt/Top|}}, often with an image and something to listen to: let's stay inspired and connected. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:57, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

  Ongoing efforts regard locations that played a role in my life, recent deaths, music heard and sung, composers, gardens. Watch my user page for articles, done in collaboration. Compare 2024 for the amazing number of users who began and expanded articles. Thanks also to reviewers, and I do plan to review more and write less, and in writing, focus more on quality than the little daily article.

  2025 calender pics and musical events begin here, and the 2025 diary of my own pictures of places, songs, food, flowers is here, - just watch those lists if you are interested.

  My talk goes like this: on top there's the "story" related to the day. Below are three or more boxes, often one for people remembered and others for musical experiences, performing or listening. In these boxes, topics related to the top story and topics featured on the Main page appear bold. Right here you see the image of the month with songs of the month, typically related to friends who gave them to me, on their birthdays or when meeting them. I archive from time. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:25, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

  The article Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben, BWV 8 you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold File:Symbol wait.svg. The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben, BWV 8 and Talk:Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben, BWV 8/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Aza24 -- Aza24 (talk) 00:24, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

  : Aza24, thank you for the thorough review. I understand that in order to make Bach's chorale cantatas a good topic, this cantata - as part of it - has to be a good article, and I am willing to put work into it to make it so. However, right now I'm working simultaneously on several others with the same goal, and they require less work. I see me getting to serious changes for BWV 8 after the others, which will be in February. (The only one written later, BWV 1, is already a FA.) I'll make small changes now, perhaps today, but will then have to ask if the nom should remain open for longer or be closed and started over when I'm ready. Y'all: any help with this one and the others - making changes or reviewing - is welcome, see above, #calling for collaboration. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:06, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

  7 March 2025, Ravel’s 150th anniversary

  Hi! I’ve seen you around a couple of times from some discussions that you have had with others and noticed that you love classical music! I’d thought that I would share with you my love for Maurice Ravel (my number one favorite composer for several years). I listened to several concerts this year dedicated to his 150th anniversary: pieces included La valse, Boléro, Introduction and Allegro, etc., all very wonderful pieces. T^{fess up?}_{or down?} 01:01, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

  : Thank you. I thought of it and brought him to the main page at least by mentioning his name. I will write my story about one of his pieces, Trois Chansons (Ravel), created on 7 March 2019. (I had meant to use the Introduction and Allegro, in which I was involved a bit in 2011.) I want to create a new article on the occasion, Tout est lumière. Nice to meet you and your love! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:32, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

  :Well done! It's always worthwhile to improve articles about outstanding opera signers.--Ipigott (talk) 12:48, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

  : Gerda, I hope the changes I made don't mess with your good work. Consider them to be mere suggestions. This is an area in which I have no expertise. If I have overstepped, feel free to delete (or rearrange) any or all of them if needed. Cheers. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:59, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

  I see

  I see Pierre Boulez is on the front page. Hate his music but great conductor. — Iadmc♫^talk  18:23, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

  : see my user page: I was active in the FAC for Boulez and knew about the timing. My story, though, is another birthday child: Jörg Streli. When Boulez died I wrote Ainsi parla Zarathoustra (Boulez). I had written Jahrhundertring already when Chéreau died. Anybody up for a GA review? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:31, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

  : In honour of the centenary, I show Lulu under #music, seen in the three-act version that he premiered. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:43, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
